Looking for Mystery Game Players – The Room That Remembered (Free Browser Prototype)

Hi everyone!

I'm an independent developer working on a psychological detective mystery called The Room That Remembered.

Eleanor Vale has disappeared from Blackwood House. You'll investigate the disappearance, interview three suspects, explore locations, examine evidence and make your own final accusation.

It's a free, browser-playable early prototype.

I'm currently looking for a few genuine players, especially from the USA, UK and Canada, who enjoy detective games, mystery stories, puzzles or interactive fiction.

I'd really appreciate it if you could play and share honest feedback about the experience.

Thank you for helping an independent creator!

Letting players point out the suspect themselves at the end feels way more engaging than just waiting for a reveal. Going off the description, I'm curious: can you make an accusation early based on the evidence you have, or does it only unlock after visiting every location and questioning all three suspects? That'll make a big difference in how much players feel like they actually solved the case themselves.

That's an interesting point! I wanted players to feel like actual investigators rather than simply following a fixed sequence.

Currently, the prototype encourages players to explore the locations, examine evidence and question all three suspects before making their final accusation. The accusation is based on the evidence they collect.

I agree that allowing an earlier accusation could make the experience more engaging. I'll definitely consider this for future cases.

Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts!
